"Stargate Universe" Discussion/Speculation (Spoilers)

And still wishing harm and untimely death on Chloe.

If it happens, it happens. I'm okay with it if it does something for other characters and the story

Phil writes: “Its been established that Stargates (or Milky Way ones at least) provide correlative updates to tell each other where they are. Will it be explained how this applies to Destiny? It’s constantly moving so wouldn’t it have to start the update process every time it enters a new galaxy?”

Answer: It won’t be explained in-story but one can assume that Destiny simply detects gates in range.

PattyO writes: “Question: how is it decided who will direct each episode? Does it just rotate, or do some directors only direct some particular writers? Is there a rhyme or reason to it or completely random?”

Answer: We set a rotation, shifting slots to accommodate guest directors or potential scheduling conflicts.

TBA writes: “What is the current status of the Lucian Alliance? Is it now a loose coalition of warlords, or is there another big leader?”

Answer: More of a loose coalition with a hierarchical structure similar to that of contemporary criminal organizations.

Craig writes: “…will we see any other new rooms/parts of Destiny uncovered?”

Answer: Yes.

Nathan writes: “Are there going to be any encounters in season 2 with the race that created that planet in “Faith”?”

Answer: In a matter of speaking, yes…

Meshakhad writes: “1. Are there any Jaffa among the ranks of the Lucian Alliance forces on Destiny? Are there any women apart from Commander Kiva? And on a related note, is Rush the only non-American of the original crew?”

Answers: No Jaffa. Yes, women. And – that we know of.

[...] “3. Is Eli’s new love interest a) a member of Destiny’s original crew; b) a member of the Lucian Alliance, or c) none of the above?”

Answer: What love interest?

“4. Where do the various crew families live on Earth?”

Answer: All over the country.

“And while we’re on the subject of Earth, how are the people from Destiny getting around? Are we not seeing the several hours they spend in commercial airliners or military jets? Do they use beaming or other alien technology? Or am I wrong about this and all the crew families live within driving distance of D.C.?”

Answer: The military escorts them to meet with their loves ones. And, yes, we’re leaving those hours of air travel to your imagination.

MarieWynn writes: “1) You obviously enjoyed writing for the character of Vala (and as a Vala fan I thank you). Assuming the Lucian Alliance storyline continues, has there been any talk of bringing in her character on SGU since she has experience with them?”

Answer: Alas, although there were instances where we glimpsed her more serious side, Vala’s broad sense of humor makes her a difficult fit on SGU. Still, I love the character and I’m holding out hope for that Vala/McKay/Ronon/Woolsey dream team spin-off.

I don't. Too dark and depressing. We don't need a happy ending of everyone returning to Earth. But everyone dying is just wrong

Chloe and Eli are the only two I really care about. Either of them die I'll be very pissed.

just two characters ? but there's so many people we've seen so far who are also awesome

[Eternal Density]

Greer and BAG, yes?

[Gamma626]

No doubt. But I feel I could live with not having them on the show.

I'd say I'd add Young, Rush, Greer and Scott to the "PLEASE DONT DIE!" list though actually.

Good. Your personal suffering and anger shall only serve to fuel my power.

Spoiler:

She can transform into a mushroom for all I care. Then she'd actually fit alongside the musty pile of dung that is Lt. Scott.

She can turn into a mushroom, and then all the crew can eat her and then hallucinate. That would be pretty sweet.
